Ah I have the saggy butt:(



Recommended Posts

You know I'm not really sure what size I'm in. My 16's are really baggy but my size 14's are tight but then my 14's are 3 years old so maybe there's a difference in sizing now? IDK. I'm really frustrated. I have 7 pairs of jeans that almost fit but not quiet. I have 2 that I can get buttoned but I can't bend over in yet.

This will sound weird, but if you have pants that you can get over your butt and just can't button, there is this thing at target or anywhere that has maternity clothes called the belly band. its for pregnant women that can't button their pants. its a strip of elastic cloth that goes over your pants where the button are and gives you a layered look. so no one can see if you can't button your pants. here is a link for the target kind to give you an idea. i use them a lot!

Thank you so much for showing this! I'm at that awkward between sizes. I wear the smaller size because the too big sizes are awful.

But, having pants that are too tight around the mid-section has become so painful. I thought I was going to have to actually go buy bigger pants this weekend :)

I swear by Dress Barns jeans. They fit me well and have both 14 and 14W. Not too expensive either. They had a denim sale last week and bought 4 pair for under $100.

(Side note) The skinny, 12 year old (not really 12) sales girl helped me when the 14W was too big and brought me the regular 14. She said, "See you don't need the 14 WIDE." I gently corrected her and laughed in the dressing room...

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
